Chapter 50 Third Generation Single-Crystal Nickel-Based Alloys

"Godfather, scientific research must also respect the objective laws of things. The limits of materials are the upper limit of all technology."

Looking at Wang Xingguo's unwilling eyes, Lin Dong pondered for a moment and said, "If possible, please help me find the research and development data of DD9 third-generation single-crystal nickel-based superalloy, as well as other materials science papers and books."

As he had discussed with Wang Rui and others, all the problems in modern technology are essentially material problems, and all design and optimization are nothing more than compromises on the inadequacy of material performance.

According to the information he found, there are currently two series of third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloys in China: DD33 and DD9.

DD33 is an economical alternative to third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloys, while DD9 is a high-end series of third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloys.

The "Emei" WS-15 engine requires DD9 alloy, which has been developed by the BJ Aviation Materials Research Institute and has now passed the laboratory stage.

According to previous reports, it would probably be the second half of 2016 before the DD9 and DD33 could successively overcome the technological challenges of mass production, thus completing the last piece of the puzzle in China's high-end high-temperature alloy field and fifth-generation fighter jet engines such as the WS-15.

"Do you need the research and development data for DD9 third-generation single-crystal nickel-based alloy?"

Wang Xingguo paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in surprise as he exclaimed, "You mean...?"

"I didn't say anything."

Lin Dong quickly waved his hand and said calmly, "I'm just taking a look."

Yes, let's take a look first.

In recent years, he has studied knowledge related to aircraft and aircraft engines, but he has not systematically studied materials science.

Although it has a soul vision, it can be a cheat code.

But before he began formal, systematic learning, he didn't know how effective his cheating would be.

After all, his soul vision, aside from the first effect, slightly increases learning efficiency and memory comprehension.

The second deficiency in perceiving things is the ability to perceive things beyond common sense, like a high-dimensional perspective, which requires systematic knowledge as support.

The more knowledge you have, the deeper your knowledge base, the more powerful the effect. If your knowledge base is insufficient, this thing is just a useless tool.

If an elementary school student possesses this ability, they might at most discover flaws in exam questions. But if a PhD possesses this ability, they could create new technologies and pioneer new fields.

He doesn't have very high expectations for himself in the field of materials science right now.

If we just figured out how to get the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloy, which takes 16 years to reach mass production, into mass production two to three years ahead of schedule, the J-20 fighter jet could be equipped with a new engine ahead of time, just like what happened in 2016.

Furthermore, if the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloy is successfully developed ahead of schedule, it will also be helpful for his work on unmanned combat aircraft.

To put it simply, the Hot Air can fly at Mach 6 in ramjet mode at a low altitude of 10,000 meters, allowing it to speed for a while without having to undergo major repairs after just one low-altitude flight.

"Godfather, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I won't disturb your studies any longer."

Lin Dong stayed for a while, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, he pointed to the book list he had just given Wang Xingguo: "Regarding the issues of 606 and 624, Godfather, you can slowly push them forward."

Although qualified materials are not yet available, the engine developed has a short lifespan.

However, manufacturing a small batch of engines and supplying them to a few J-20 modified fighter jets can still play a crucial role in critical moments.

If you encounter any problems during the research and development process that you can't solve, Godfather, come to me again, and I'll provide you with a list of books and papers.

Lin Dong didn't offer to take on everything; he quickly resolved the engine design issues all by himself.

Because the process of developing and overcoming this technological challenge is essentially a process of talent cultivation and training.

Unless it is an extremely urgent matter, he should not deprive others of the opportunity to learn and improve, thus hindering the process of talent cultivation.

After all, he is only one person; he cannot be in two places at once and cannot handle everything by himself.

If we were to take on everything in this way, the entire national industrial system has 41 major industrial categories, 207 medium categories, and 666 minor categories. If we were to dismantle the whole system, we wouldn't even be able to get a small piece of any of these categories.

"Compile reading lists and academic papers for others..."

Wang Xingguo's lips twitched upon hearing this, but then, as if remembering something, he asked seriously, "Xiao Dong, you haven't had anything going on lately, have you?"

"During this time..."

Lin Dong paused for a moment, then asked curiously, "I'm planning a picnic and outing this week. I'm planning to get a few multi-rotor drones to take pictures, and that's about it."

"A multi-rotor drone? The kind with electric propellers?"

Wang Xingguo thought for a moment: "They don't have any special equipment, do they?"

"Yes, that's the kind of drone."

Lin Dong nodded: "There's nothing special about it, it's just equipped with a laser, which is used as a laser radar for taking pictures, and my dad said the power is a bit too high."

"..."

Wang Xingguo's eyelids twitched a few times, and after a moment of silence, he said, "The laser device is indeed nothing special, but we still need to be careful about its high power."

"Is there an adult accompanying him on this picnic? Tell me his name, and I'll issue him a temporary pass and equipment testing form. This will help avoid some procedural issues."

Although Lin Dong was exceptionally talented, Wang Xingguo didn't forget that this guy was only in fifth grade and didn't have full criminal and civil liability. Such matters could only be handled in the name of adults.

"Yes, Uncle Xu Ziming will take us there."

"Xu Ziming, Engineer Xu? That's even better. We don't need a temporary certificate anymore; we can just issue a test order under Engineer Xu's name."

Wang Xingguo rubbed his forehead and earnestly instructed, "With so many people from 606 and 624 coming to Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group this time, we can't keep this a secret."

"A lot of eyes will be on this place from now on. Your 'Hot' account is too eye-catching. Unless there's something special, don't fly there for now."

"clear."

A hint of realization flashed in Lin Dong's eyes, and he said sincerely, "Thank you, Godfather."

"Go out."

Wang Xingguo waved his hand, picked up the reading list from Lin Donglie, sighed and said, "I also need to finish the homework you assigned. Tomorrow I have to deal with issues from two aero-engine research institutes."

"Godfather, good luck." Lin Dong smiled and waved as he left the study.

After watching Lin Dong leave, Wang Xingguo glanced at the book list, but put it down again a second later. He then turned on his computer, logged into the military intranet, checked the project status of the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloy, and sent a project information access request form to headquarters.

After sending out the application, Wang Xingguo emailed an academician he knew in the materials science field, requesting a list of materials science study materials.

"There's one more thing..."

Wang Xingguo opened the resumes of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group's core employees one by one, focusing on those with learning or research experience in materials science.

Based on his understanding of Lin Dong over the past few years, he believes that this so-called "wait and see" will likely lead to a breakthrough in the third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloy within a few months. At that time, the person who will take the fall will need to be prepared in advance.

"Xu Ziming, Engineer Xu... He actually had a double doctorate in materials science and engineering when he was young. No wonder he became a senior engineer at such a young age. His process technology is so outstanding."

"Well, he happens to know Xiao Dong's situation, so there won't be any issues with security and confidentiality..."

Wang Xingguo recalled Xu Ziming's defense of Lin Dong during their discussion last night, and immediately made a decision.

Neither he nor Lin Weiliang had any experience in materials science, so there was really no one to fill the gap in this third-generation single-crystal nickel-based high-temperature alloy. It would be more prudent to let Xu Ziming take over.

When the time comes, everyone will benefit equally and receive the book list together; no one will be able to escape.
